M440 Dual Axis Stereo Volume Pedal

Introduction

The M440 is our dual axis panning and volume pedal. Up/Down is volume and Left/Right is panning. When a second input (IN R) is used the Up/Down can be used for expression. The dual panning can also be switched to dual volume.

Built on the same chassis as the new 4E the new M440 is even more ergonomic than it’s predecessor the M440SE. The new M440 is also a full pound lighter than the M440SE. The treble bleed panning and volume circuitry stayed the same to give one of the best passive panning sounds available.

Our multi-axis pedals have a significant advantage over all others. We started with ergonomics first. Using wooden models we tested multiple pivot points of both axes. If you look at all other multi-axis pedals you see the foot plate spins at the center. To operate a pedal like that you have to twist your entire leg at the hip. Our patented design rotates through the center of the leg. That means the foot rolls left to right naturally. This makes it feel right standing or sitting.

With all the flexibility of the M440, there are many ways to use it. You could mix two input channels of an amp or pan between two amplifiers. With the right setup you can blend two signal chains of effect pedals and control the master volume for on the fly effects and master volume level.
